For the purposes of these Terms of Use:
Ownership of the Site
The Site, any content on the Site and the infrastructure used to provide the Site are proprietary to us, our affiliates, advertisers who we allow to display commercial content (each an “Advertiser”, and collectively the “Advertisers”) and other content providers. By using the Site and accepting these Terms of Use: (a) Dental Shop grants you a limited, temporary, personal, nontransferable, nonexclusive, revocable license to use the Site pursuant to these Terms of Use and to any additional terms and policies set forth from time to time by Dental Shop; and (b) you agree not to reproduce, distribute, create derivative works from, publicly display, license, sell or re-sell any content, software, products or services obtained from or through the Site without the prior express written permission of Dental Shop.
Use of the Site
As a condition of your use of the Site, you agree, and represent, warrant and covenant in favor of Dental Shop, that:
Access to the Site
Dental Shop retains the right, at our sole discretion, to deny service or use of the Site or an account to anyone at any time and for any reason. While we use reasonable efforts to keep the Site and your account accessible, the Site and/or your account may be unavailable from time to time. You understand and agree that there may be interruptions in service or events, Site access, or access to your account due to circumstances both within our control (e.g., routine maintenance) and outside of our control.
Subscription period
The Service or some parts of the Service are available only with a paid Subscription. You will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis (such as daily, weekly, monthly or annually), depending on the type of Subscription plan you select when purchasing the Subscription. At the end of each period, Your Subscription will automatically renew under the exact same conditions unless You cancel it or the Company cancels it.
You may cancel Your Subscription renewal either through Your Account settings page or by contacting the Company. You will not receive a refund for the fees You already paid for Your current Subscription period and You will be able to access the Service until the end of Your current Subscription period.
You shall provide the Company with accurate and complete billing information including full name, address, state, zip code, telephone number, and a valid payment method information. Should automatic billing fail to occur for any reason, the Company will issue an electronic invoice indicating that you must proceed manually, within a certain deadline date, with the full payment corresponding to the billing period as indicated on the invoice.
The Company, in its sole discretion and at any time, may modify the Subscription fees. Any Subscription fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current Subscription period. The Company will provide You with reasonable prior notice of any change in Subscription fees to give You an opportunity to terminate Your Subscription before such change becomes effective. Your continued use of the Service after the Subscription fee change comes into effect constitutes Your agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee amount.
Except when required by law, paid Subscription fees are non-refundable. Certain refund requests for Subscriptions may be considered by the Company on a case-by-case basis and granted at the sole discretion of the Company.
The Company may, at its sole discretion, offer a Subscription with a Free Trial for a limited period of time. You may be required to enter Your billing information in order to sign up for the Free Trial. If You do enter Your billing information when signing up for a Free Trial, You will not be charged by the Company until the Free Trial has expired. On the last day of the Free Trial period, unless You canceled Your Subscription, You will be automatically charged the applicable Subscription fees for the type of Subscription You have selected. At any time and without notice, the Company reserves the right to (i) modify the terms and conditions of the Free Trial offer, or (ii) cancel such Free Trial offer.

Choice of Law
Any disputes arising out of or related to these Terms of Use and/or any use by you of the Site or Dental Shop’s services shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its choice of law rules and without regard to conflicts of laws principles.
Dispute Resolution
(a) Binding Arbitration. Except as specifically stated herein, any dispute or claim between you and Dental Shop arising out of, relating in any way to, or in connection with these Terms of Use, the Site or your use of the Site, or any Advertiser Offerings or services offered or distributed through the Site (“Disputes”) shall be resolved exclusively by final, binding arbitration; except that you may bring a qualifying claim over a Dispute in a small claims court. By virtue of this Dispute Agreement (defined below), you and Dental Shop are each giving up the right to go to court and have a Dispute heard by a judge or jury (except as otherwise set forth in this subsection (a) or subsection (d) below). The provisions of this Section shall constitute your and Dental Shop’s written agreement to arbitrate Disputes under the Federal Arbitration Act (“Dispute Agreement”). Any modification to this Agreement shall be in writing and signed by you and Dental Shop. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and conducted before a single arbitrator pursuant to its rules, including, without limitation, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, available at http://www.adr.org. The arbitrator will apply and be bound by this Agreement, apply applicable law to the facts as determined by the arbitrator, and issue a reasoned award.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must comply with the limitations provision set forth in subsection (e) below and submit the Dispute by utilizing the forms available at http://www.adr.org, and simultaneously sending a copy of the completed form to: Dental Shop, LLC, ATTN: Andrea Berk, 6601 S. Tamiami Trail, Suite 178, Sarasota, Florida 34231. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. Dental Shop will reimburse those fees for Disputes totaling less than Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) at issue unless the arbitrator determines the Dispute is frivolous. Likewise, Dental Shop will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the Dispute is frivolous. The arbitration will be conducted based upon written submissions unless you request and/or the arbitrator determines that a telephone or in-person hearing is necessary.
(b) No Class Action Matters. We each agree that we shall bring any Dispute against the other in our respective individual capacities and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding or as an association. In addition, we each agree that Disputes shall be arbitrated only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. The arbitrator shall not have the power to vary these provisions.
(c) Choice of Law and Forum; No Jury Trial. If for any reason a Dispute proceeds in court: (i) except with respect to a qualifying claim over a Dispute in a small claims court, you agree that any such Dispute may only be instituted in a state or federal court in Sarasota County, Florida; (ii) you and Dental Shop irrevocably consent and submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for resolution of such Disputes; (iii) you and Dental Shop agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, the AAA rules, applicable federal law and the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to principles of conflicts of law, will govern this Dispute Agreement and any Disputes; and (iv) you and Dental Shop agree to waive any right to a trial by jury.
(d) Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Dispute Agreement, either party may bring suit in court seeking an injunction or other equitable relief arising out of or relating to the infringement of a party’s intellectual property or any conduct that violates the Section of these Terms of Use above entitled “Your Conduct”.
(e) Time Limitations. If either of us wants to assert a Dispute against the other, the party with a Dispute must institute arbitration within one (1) year from the date the Dispute arose. Absent commencing the arbitration within one (1) year from the date the Dispute arose, the Dispute(s) will be forever barred.
(f) Severability. With the exception of subsection (b) above, if any part of this Section is ruled to be unenforceable, then the balance of this Section shall remain in full effect and construed and enforced as if the portion ruled unenforceable were not contained herein. If subsection (b) above is ruled to be unenforceable, then subsection (a) shall be deemed unenforceable, but the rest of this Section shall remain in full effect.
